Urban Area
The name Arenda originated from the Spanish term for ‘lease’ used for the
lease of fixed assets in the Encomienda system (forced labor) system that Taytay,
among many provinces in the Philippines, and specifically Lupang Arenda, was under
during the Hispanic colonial times. The large Lupang Arenda lot was donated by Don
Juan Valerio Gonzales and Don Cristobal Paramdam to the Taytay municipality and
used for farming and fishing from which some of the locals were able to make their

engineering resilience alone, by purely technological and scientific ways, tend to lack

and efficiency which is constrained to immediacy and time which also limits the
solution from being prepared of disturbances that are big in size and longer in the
time scale. Ecological resilience on the other hand, offers a broader scope through
